Over the last year many club members have been raising sponsorship for a second Access 303 dinghy. The Access allows wheelchair and other disabled sailors to have the fun and excitement of sailing in a boat which is virtually impossioble to capsize (with the keel down).

Members have raised over £4,000 (and the club has also contributed), from people such as:
Bluebird Trust (a small local charity raising money for disability groups)
The Newark Curry Club
Waitrose
Waitrose Newark
Bed& Bath
Enigma
Acorn Aluminium
Print 4
Franklin Ellis Architects
Instep
Car Bright
Paul Brown
Mr Butterfield

A big thankyou to you all

The launch took place on 20th Sept and fundraisers and those that donated where invited to a small buffet and to launch the boat. Thanks to everyone involved, as this will allow Sailability to move forward and provide access to sailing for many more people.

Anyone who would like to help out please contact the training section.
